    The Perfect Party Dress + An Instagram Takeover

      Party Dress Love As a little girl, I wore a dress and tights to school every single day.  I don’t think I ever wore pants to school until I was at least 7 or 8. And even then, it was a big deal that I wore jeans for ONE day. I guess much hasn’t changed since I still find myself…
